Nonviolent Protesting

Yeah - this culture values production and dead things over life

Yes, Germany is supposed to stop using nuclear power by 2022 (not 2012). But there is no place to put the waste. Nowhere in the world there is a place as of yet. In Germany it is especially nasty because there have been some political stunts involved in this place. It was chosen purely for political reasons. Geologists suggested a handful locations, this place was not on the list. It was added in handwriting under the list by some politician before it was given for decision. It used to be close to the border to eastern Germany - nice move because if something goes wrong the junk will go to the east to the "enemy". Then Germany was reunited and now it is dead in the middle of it - in an unstable salt mine similar to that which was used as a test site for nuclear storage and which is collapsing nowadays while they try to get the waste out again because it is unsafe. No one wants this again. So people still protest against putting the waste in such a place that was not thoroughly tested with a positive result
